Eurozone annual inflation accelerated to 4.9% in November from 4.1%, it’s well above the 4.5% forecast and above the ECB’s target. Pressure is now building on the ECB on future monetary stimulus, as the ECB initially did not plan to cut the PEPP program until spring 2022.
From a technical point of view, the EUR/USD on the hour time frame is still bearish, but yesterday the price made an attempt to break out of the priority change level but failed to consolidate above. The MACD indicator became inactive. Under such market conditions, traders should consider sell positions from the priority change level of 1.1371. Buy trades should be considered only from the support levels of the higher time frame, given the buyers’ initiative, but only with short targets.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.1371 resistance level and fixes above, the mid-term uptrend will likely resume.

Under such market conditions, traders should consider sell positions from the resistance levels around the moving average.
